  • 'Winching'

    I've never seen it spelled like that before... ;)

  • How hard is the "winching" bit?

    It just means snogging. I don't know how hard you find that.

  • Sounds like I'd find the whole process easier in Glasgow.

  • Today I cycled down a tiny country lane no handed while making drumming actions along to Eddie and the Hot Rods' 'Do Anything You Wanna Do'. .

    For posterity.

  • Date not go well at the weekend?

  • or dagenham

  • Date not go well at the weekend?

    He was nice but didnt put out so I left him in a kebab shop.

  • Sounds like I'd find the whole process easier in Glasgow.

    Most people do.

  • Classy.

    Books ticket to Glasgow

  • He was nice but didnt put out so I left him in a kebab shop.

    excellent cross-thread referencing

  • 'natch'

    fuck...guilty as charged. only use it cos its 1 letter from snatch (which always makes me giggle with hands to mouth type snigger like mutley)

  • From a conference call today:

    "We need to create a real web on the web see."

    "Jump on the tiger and ride the tiger".

    I couldn't stop laughing after the second one...

  • A guy in my office, who incidentally is the most obnoxious person I have ever known, keeps coming out with 'Pearl before swine'. He says it on a daily basis, sometimes more than once. What can I do about it?

  • ask him if he wants to adorn the office pig with a pearl necklace

  • Employ Pisti.

  • A guy in my office, who incidentally is the most obnoxious person I have ever known, keeps coming out with 'Pearl before swine'. He says it on a daily basis, sometimes more than once. What can I do about it?

    Start saying it yourself, with greater volume and frequency than he says it. And guffaw mightily every time you say it, as though you're really pleased with just how incredibly witty you are.

    He'll get the message.

  • Nail a sausage to his door.

  • i used to work for a guy who referred to potentially revealing slips of the tongue as "fraudulent slips" and used "weary" for "wary". he was always "turning around and saying" too. used to keep me amused anyway.

    we once opened a letter to him which turned out to be an eye-poppingly vitriolic but barely literate piece of hate mail from an ex-employee. it was addressed to "john 'shit' stirling".

    the nickname stuck for the entire three years i worked for him. he never knew.

  • Start saying it yourself, with greater volume and frequency than he says it. And guffaw mightily every time you say it, as though you're really pleased with just how incredibly witty you are.

    He'll get the message.

    I might try this with all the phrases my boss uses:

    "Stroll on"
    "Tough cheddar cheesie"
    "Dodgy digestive"
    "By any stretch of the imagination"
    etc etc

  • By boss sticks an 'n' in front of anything that starts with a 'u'.

    Used becomes Nused.

    Underwater becomes Nunderwater.

    Upside down becomes Nupside down.

    Unsuspecting becomes Nunsuspecting.

    He kind of slips it in, like he can't help it.

    He sounds like a dick.

  • Start saying it yourself, with greater volume and frequency than he says it. And guffaw mightily every time you say it, as though you're really pleased with just how incredibly witty you are.

    He'll get the message.

    I'm not sure that will help. I have diagnosed him with suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder and as such he rarely listens to what anyone else says. Though it may be a counter against his paranoid tendencies

  • I hear it too much.... 'trending'
    something to do with twitter, and multiple people 'tweeting' about the same topic.

  • A guy in my office, who incidentally is the most obnoxious person I have ever known, keeps coming out with 'Pearl before swine'. He says it on a daily basis, sometimes more than once. What can I do about it?

    Every time he starts to say it, in the incorrect manner you've quoted, say "sssssssssssssssss!" just after he says "pearl", so that your sibilance overlaps the rest of the phrase very loudly.
